I'm not a racist...but
I say - If anyone ever says to me again "I'm not a racist...but..." and then proceeds to demonstrate just how awful a racist they are, like this 'old Rhodie', as he called himself, did today up at Sir Harry's Bar at lunchtime, I shall give them a bloody nose, so I will. And I won't care if they are ex-Selous or not.
There should be no place for racism in the new Africa.

Mingin! Is Sir Harry's Bar named after Sir Harry Lauder. He was a complete racist! He wore a kilt and said things like, It's a braw moon licht nicht the nicht. Maybe he was not as racist, but a stereotype setter. Apparently, he was very popular in the long ago. Did he make it down your way, or is that a tribute pub? Hotboy
MM, you are so right. There is no place for white racism in Africa. Since the demise of apartheid in SA, it's much more at home in Australia. Keep Africa free for tribal racism!
As you probably know, Japan has a quite sophisticated variant of home-grown racism.
In New Zealand (where my out-laws are at this very moment getting on their plane to come here), Maoris used to be self-supporting in racism, back in the days when they subjugated the original indigenes, the gentle Morioris. It is a white racist slur to suggest that the Maoris ate all the Morioris. They only ate a few of them, but they killed the rest.
I once spent a couple of hours at the airport in Kingston Jamaica, where they welcome visitors with a colourful display of ethnic customs. I found it so refreshing to be racially vilified and spat at, and why not? If they can't be racist in their own country, where can they?
Maybe that's what Enoch was getting at. What does Doviko think?
PS - I'm not a racist, but I hope this helps.
Adolf! Do they gob at honkies just off the plane in Kingston? I'm not going there without a brolly then. Hotboy
Adolf! Heil!
Read the cannibal stuff. Were you thinking of eating someone on the island? Hotboy
My Dear Hotboy,
Wrong Sir Harry, Hotboy. The Sir Harry in question was Sir Harry Hamilton Johnston, who founded the protectorate hereabouts. Here is a picture of the bar. Its situated in a wing of the Hotel Masongola, which most oldtimers like myself still refer to as "The Government Hostel", or, once we've had a few, and are remembering past times, "The Government Hostile".
My Dear Robmcj,
Sorry to hear about your dreadfull experience in Kingston. Perhaps next time you shouldn't wear a shirt like this one.
My dear friend The General is due to depart for the land of the Kiwis shortly. Do you think I need I warn him about cannibals?
